willy haeuser then there were none Assignment #2 Due October 22
Put a line above Assignment #1; assignment #2 will go above assignment #1.
Read chapter two.
Choose one of the following: suspense or foreshadowing.
With your small group, find four examples of suspense OR foreshadowing in chapter two.
Each member of your group must write on his or her WIKI page the exact wording from the book - that means type the sentences exactly as they are written.
Then, in a well-written paragraph, explain why these sentences clearly show either suspense or foreshadowing.
Read chapter three for Monday, October 25.
''There is a wasp climbing up your arm. No keep quite still''(page 20).
''Good looking fellow. Something just a little wrong about him''(page 21).
''Funny place to meet him... here-out of the world''(page 34).
''Indian island, eh? There's a fly in the ointment''(page 35)
These show suspense because they are sudden, shocking, unexpected moments in the book. These parts in the book make you want to keep reading because you want to know want comes next. It is common for a person to want to know what comes next so this is common in most books to keep reading till the end. Some of these sentences give you an idea of what's to come; this is called foreshadowing. In sentence #4, it tells us that there is something going on with Indian Island that is strange and mysterious. In sentence #2 it says, ''There is something wrong with him,'' which tells us that something to do with that person might effect the story in a huge way.
Your quotes are all short, but give a good punch of foreshadowing. What does 'a fly in the ointment mean'? Mrs. M
how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative?
how might the title be a clue to the story?
1. A novel is a long fictitious book that involves suspense and twists and a narrative is a book about the narrator.
2. The title is ''And Then There Were None'' and you can infer that the main characters in the book will either be captured and disappear from civalization or be killed.
Willy- I agree with part of your answer...does a novel always have to be about the narrator? Are all novels written in first person in which case the narrator would be telling the story from his or her perspective? Just some food for thought. Mrs. M
